2 volumes. Illustrations by George D. Rowlandson. xii, 480pp, frontis & 34 illus, publisher's catalogue; viii, 516pp, frontis & 25 illus. Original green cloth, decorations in gilt on upper boards, black rules; somewhat faded, spines sunned, a few marks. The edges are browned and with a few spots, the ink stamp of the Inspector-General of Penal Establishments, Victoria [Australia] appears throughout (more frequently than one would have thought necessary). Otherwise a good clean set. ***An international survey of the subject, although little Australian content.
